Mile Long Telescope March 2012

[darbians]

Well I have no idea where the mile part comes from as the tracks are actually 800m. Well according to Wikipedia anyway. Doing more research is just getting confusing. I have found that there maybe more to the site than what I or others have posted.

Some of the site is live with one big dish here and some others nearby.

Here are a few of my shots.
